The raisings from the dead by Christ are very_ well known, The
'Cosmic Christ' (Baba), has shown to the world spectacular resurrections which
are fully documented. The Cowans from Santa Ana, U.S.A., received a telegram
from Baba which read. "COME IMMEDIATELY TO MADRAS BABA."

They were taken by complete surprise and left soon thereafter for
India., reaching Madras on 23rd December 1971. On the day of their
arrivaI they had the coveted darshans in the evening. Baba had come to them and
had rubbed Walter Cowan's back and chest, and told them that He would see them
later.

On the Christmas eve Mr. Cowan who had been ailing for quite some
time, took a sudden turn for the worst and expired in the hotel room around
midnight. The doctors declared him dead. In the early hours of the morning, the
body was taken to the hospital where after examination, another doctor
certified him as 'Brought in Dead.' At about 10 A.M. Mrs. Cowan accompanied by
a lady devotee, arrived at the hospital. They learnt that Baba had just been
there and had left barely a few minutes earlier. At the hospitaI they found
Walter Cowan alive, sitting and talking.

Subsequently during an interview at Prasanthi Nilayam, Baba told
two American scientists from~ New York, "At Madras Cowan had three
instances of heart failure, full and fatal. But I gave him life all the three
times, for I wished to save Mrs. Cowan, the pain and bother of taking her
husband back home dead. Besides, it would make America sit up and think of the
message of the East, which is My Mess­age with greater reverence."

Shri Radhakrishna died of gastric ulcers while at Puttaparthi. His
wife persistently pleaded with Baba to revive him but at that stage Baba did
not seem to oblige. However, He assured her, "Why fear when I am
here." On the third day Baba raised Radhakrishna from the dead even though
rigor-mortis

had set in. Later Baba said, 'I brought him back to life so that
he might write his will and complete other legal formalities about succession
to his pro­perties."

Even more astounding than the above two in­stances, is the story
of Shri Bhagwandas Daswani. He had a severe heart attack in May 1977 and lay
dying in a hospital in Hong Kong. At about 4.10 A.M. on the 25th May that year,
he saw Bhagavan walk­ing through the wall into his room. Baba came and sat down
on his bed and showered vibhuti all over him. Shri Daswani felt strength grow
in his body. At first he thought, he was having a hallucination and inquired of
Baba whether He was actually there."

Baba assured him that it was a fact and inquired of Daswani what
he would like Baba to do for him. Shri Daswani requested Baba to put him on the
couch in the room. Baba lifted him up, like a feather, even though he weighed
170 lbs., and with all the infusions and drips remaining as they were, laid him
gently on the couch. After that Baba left just as He had come. Soon a number of
nurses entered the room. They were aghast to see him on the couch. They ask­ed
him, how he had got there and what was all that

dust' over his bed and body. They also wanted to know as to who
had been there. Knowing fully well that they will not comprehend and believe
what had just happened, Daswani simply told them, "I walked to the
couch." He then requested to collect the dust (vibhuti) for him in some
paper. It is stated that the vibhuti weighed about one and half kilo­grams. He,
however, divulged the entire story to an Indian doctor who happened to see him
a few days later.

A day before this happening in Hong Kong, Baba had advised
Daswani's son Deepak, a student at Whitefield, to proceed to Hong Kong as his
father was about to have a heart-attack. This episode is but an infinitesimal
fraction of His Glory. The story of Shri Daswani has been narrated to me by his
close friends and relatives who stay at Bangalore and Hong Kong.
